As someone who is about halfway through the game (my guess), I honestly don't want a different ending to be released before I finish it. I want to play the game the developers intended. So I am kind of glad it won't come out soon, I will have it finished by then. I don't know what the ending...

Seriously? I don't think people are having good sex then.

I just recently started looking into investing now that I am in a good financial situation. I have been looking around for the best dividend payouts just out of curiosity, and I can't find anyone that would be as profitable for me as Intel right now. On top of that, I have a lot of faith in...

Glad I got my 2600k a few weeks ago.

Why are you people so QQ about hats being added to TF2? It's one thing if you could benefit from the hats in-game, then you would be buying performance. But it's a FREAKING HAT. The only thing that does effect performance (weapons) are FREE. Given how much free content they have worked on for 5...

Those numbers in the U.S. seem rather low. I'm a web developer and I have to say the number of our clients that use I.E.6 is probably closer to 20-25% not less than 3%. Especially in the small business realm, it seems like the task of upgrading a dozen or two (or even 1 or 2) computers to a...

If they released a 400W version for say $110 or so, it would make its way into both of my crunchers and likely many other people's crunchers as well.

Jonathan Ive should be knighted ten times before considering Jobs once.

A Bulldozer module and a hyper-threaded core are not similar enough to compare to each other. They don't work in the same way, in fact they are almost opposite of each other. A HT core is a single core that can schedule a second thread. The goal is to take advantage of the fact that usually, a...

The model number is identical on both generations of the hardware which is why some are crying foul. Tom's did a decent write-up of the issue: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ocz-vertex-2-25nm-ssd,2867.html

Serious/dedicated folders avoid running outside the efficiency window like the plague. Crunching 24/7 with bad settings can cost enough to buy two rigs to run at good settings. Overclocking != inefficient by itself. Most CPU's can run at much higher frequencies using the stock voltages, and/or...

It works by people buying stock for more than the previous person paid...? Very basic concept. Money is not magically created when a stock goes from $10 to $15. Someone spends $15 on the "item" someone else spent $10 on. That gives the first guy the $5 difference as profit, and the second guy...

That's just nuts seeing how close those get to the 980X. I bet they will be crunching monsters. I want one!

Don't confuse the B2 and B3 Phenom 1's, they were pretty different as far as what to expect. This one is a B3 (which is a good thing). The B3's have models ending in 50, XX50. The B2's were the ones with the TLB bug (irrelevant) and also overclocked very little more than stock (more relevant)...

I need these so when I play games I can hear my enemies fear.

I think they've done just splendid. I think their future plans should involve even more cool ideas like removable fans, as well as giving me a new card.

Thats the main difference between HoN and LoL to me. I never played LoL but played the HoN beta and was instantly put off at what has to be the worst community of asshats of all time. I can't think of any other game with such a bad community. A friend of mine bugged me to play LoL with him until...

Do my eyes deceive me or do they actually have an AM3 mounting system that does not involve a basic crossbar and an orientation that would let me blow the air out the back instead of up or down? Nice!

I've always been a little timid about the idea of flashing a bios for a video card but figured I would try it. Just did and that was about as painless as it gets, and I have an unlocked card now! Good thread. Now I need to decide if I want to put this thing under water. Had a hose blow a few...

[snip] nevermind too tired going to bed

I don't know man, if I had to say how I believe Kyle thinks about AMD right now fanboy would be very far from it. In fact the review he did of Phenom II right out the gate with the 940 raised my eyebrows on more than one issue with how he tested. I felt like he almost set up AMD to do worse than...

Only games I play that seem to use up cores are BFBC2 and L4D2 (was surprised by this one). BFBC2 can keep all 4 of my cores on my 955BE (@3.6Ghz) at 60%+ at all times with spikes going towards the 90's, while L4D2 can do similar at some times, with a slightly lower averages and the 4th core not...

So is the Asus bios unlocking CCC Overdrive to 900Mhz territory? I didn't know that CCC could be unlocked that high. I have a Diamond 5850 and can only set 775Mhz with their bios :( I don't want to really raise the vCore right now but I know I can get over 775Mhz with stock voltage and would...

Like I want to spend money to find the next person I steamroll in a game. Girl's can't play games, on or off the interwebs, why would I spend my hard earned l33t cache for the chance to beat yet another n00b. /end failed comedy A service like that is only going to make the poor guys (more)...

I would give you my vote for XFX like everyone else except I have a HD4870 that died on me in SEPTEMBER and as of today they sent me confirmation that they received my card for RMA inspection. The card they got today was the RMA they gave me for the RMA of my original RMA. Meaning that once they...

It is if you are using the chips for things that take place on one core. For example if you were using these to crunch, you get to do 6 tasks at once at 2.8Ghz instead of 4 at 3.4Ghz. Even in things like H264 encoding 6 cores at 2.8Ghz is going to steamroll 4 cores at 3.4Ghz. I don't think he...

Exactly, because that was implied anywhere and makes sense in any way...

I am baking my XFX 4870 as we speak. Hope it works! My original card died, they sent me a replacement, that replacement was dead, they sent me this one and it artifacts and goes black within a few minutes and they are now ignoring any tech support tickets I sent them. I purchased a 5850 (not...

ATI's drivers are fine...I just don't get what the endless complaints about them are. I always see complaints about them but never any example of WHY they are bad. I've owned two ATI cards in a row now (4870 and now 5850) and the drivers have been just fine and dandy for me... My only...

I got my 5850 (Diamond) from Microcenter and it cost $300+tax, so this is a decent price actually. I normally would never be one of the people to jump on a new card and pay the big price but my previous card died (XFX 4870) and and the RMA they sent me was also dead...so instead of waiting...

I was expecting a whole different set of videos based on the comment on the front page lol. Sorta stupid but you have to at least chuckle at it.

AMD owns the 64-bit instruction set, so AMD would deny Intel the license. Neither company will deny the other their part of the x86 instruction set because they would both effectively kill themselves.

Yeah I sent it back. However I did test both the original card and the RMA they sent me back on the Earthwatt's and even in another motherboard, both with the same result. I did not however test either one without putting in on the Thermaltake first since I had not been told it could be the...

Why I tested my PSU in the first place: I had a video card die on me at the end of September, an XFX 4870. The card had worked like a charm for a few months and then just didn't turn on one day. I got an RMA back from them, and while not dead the screen would go black as soon as windows...

Sort of weird that it does not work in the retail version of Win7, I had a 9600BE crunching and had it on Win7 RC 64-bit and used that exact tool to turn off the TBL patch with zero issues.

For some reason I thought I remembered at launch the 5870 was expected to be a competitor to the GTX 295 not GTX 285, but that is defiantly not happening here. Maybe I am just in need of more coffee.

That is how I feel as well. Even if you want to stick with AMD, you should go for a 955/965 if you want to power a multi-gpu setup. I can't imagine a situation where a 3.8Ghz+ Phenom II/C2Q/i5/i7 quad would be bottlenecking unless you are playing with settings where the "bottleneck" is well...

I've been pretty happy with AT&T and my iPhone thus far. I've had my phone for a few months now. Other than being confused as to why they did not have MMS from the start I don't have any complaints.

You'll defiantly get better clocks with less heat/power consumption by switching to a 940/955/965 however a 3.2Ghz Phenom 1 is still going to be plenty for most games, encording, etc. From a performance standpoint I would not upgrade unless you are throwing a lot of volts at it to reach 3.2Ghz...

I hope this is a sign that Windows 8 will be 64-bit only. IMO Win7 should have been. The cut-off needs to be made. just like 16-bit.
